Description

The lyrics for this tune are based on experience in a marriage of more than 33 years. Anyone who has been in a long-term marriage knows that there are rough patches. We can emerge from them separately or together, but almost always stronger and better. The desperation one feels during the lows can be devastating, leaving someone very suddenly hopeless, alone and afraid.

Lyrics

Lyin' in our bed this morning, You broke the news I never thought I'd hear You told me you were through, and there's nothing I can do Now I'm sorting it all out, and you're not here Refrain: Desperate times and drastic measures They say they always go together Well I'm desperate now, but I don't know what to do What measures can I take, knowin' what's at stake Is a lifetime alone, without you? After twenty years this sudden change in weather Has left me standing numb out in the cold And I still don't even know, why you feel you had to go You left as if I didn't need to be told refrain We used to walk out in our back woods together And all those years I never felt alone I'm walking out here now, and the rain is streaming down The cold is soaking in right down to my bones refrain I don't want to start life again, all over If I did, I'd want you to be there too Tell me something I can do, to make it right with you To have you back as my twenty-year best friend refrain (then repeat last two lines of refrain)
